Luke Ayling continued in the captain’s role with Liam Cooper also on the bench, while Adam Forshaw returned to the matchday squad.
Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone made his first league start for the club in place of Vincente Guaita in boss Roy Hodgson’s second game in charge since returning to Selhurst Park. Jordan Ayew was also back in the starting XI as Wilfried Zaha missed out due to a groin injury.

Leeds United vs Crystal Palace
Gracia has a big job now to pick his side up and get them going again, with them going into the break surely a touch disheartened not to be ahead. Will they be able to get themselves back in front?
Leeds United vs Crystal Palace
The referee blows the whistle for the interval and the hosts will be wondering how they are not ahead. They dominated the first half, taking the lead when Bamford headed home from Aaronson's corner. Johnstone made some great saves between the Palace sticks to keep the lead at just the one goal, and his team levelled just before the break as Guehi flicked home from a free-kick.
